That’s ambitious pricing for a game that wouldn’t be worth your time if it was free.

Not that Derulo isn’t a total idiot and loser, but I think it’s funny that this is the example you chose of celebrities doing stupid shit to stay relevant during the pandemic and not, for example, Demi Lovato inventing an entire relationship, engagement and break up so people would still talk about her.

The wall between celebrities and civilians might seem more robust than ever, now, because of fame’s protective coating that renders celebrities untouchable in the face of scandal—but really, what the pandemic has revealed in full is that famous people who chase clout for a living are no different, just as…

“Celebrities” mean way more to the media than they do to everybody else. You’re the only ones trying to prioritize the off-duty exploits of a handful of average entertainers as worthy of attention.

It’s funny in hindsight how much blowback the “Imagine” thing got. It was out of touch and annoying, but also featured well-meaning celebrities staying home like we were all supposed to. So many of the other things in this article that blew over faster were actively harmful.

Of course, the far bigger issue is that a loud proportion of Cyberpunk 2077 purchasers (and indeed any other big-name game) don’t want reviews at all. They want reassurance.

This movie is number 2 on my list of shit I'm completely fucking sick of hearing about, right behind Donald Trump's month long temper tantrum over being a loser.

What’s your problem with the Ho Box Office?

In 2019 the movie industry made $41 billion and the music industry made $19 billion.
Video games made $152 billion.

I 100% expect this game to be a massive disappointment for all but the most ardently in denial of fanboys. The studio is competent enough that it’s not going to be “bad”, but forgettable and “mixed” are exactly where I expect this to fall. The hype for this game is just Too Much™ and it seems based 100% on the idea…

Love this corporate dig they went for here, you can really just feel the smug coming off some lawyer writing it:
